letter from General Master Workman
Powderly advising that no further &C.

general executive board sometime since
declaring war on the cigarmakers'
unions. He says that he will issue an
order shortly that will be in accordance
with the constitution of the order Of the

an acknowledgment. that the existing

A Haunted Abbey.

Lady libby is again said to be haunt iny Bisham Abbey, and Is causing no little sensation.
 sador to the Court of France in 1866. The Abbey is the most historic religious house in Berkshire, and in one of the apartments is peculiar painting repre- senting the lady with very white face and hands. dressed in the coif, weeds and wimple, then allowed to baronet's lady.
 In this identical dress, it Is most strongly averred, she has been frequently seen in one of the bedrooms of the Abbey, with a self-supporting basin moving be- fore her, in which she is perpetually try ing to wash her hands, but the most re- markable part of the story is that he so- called apparition always appears in the negative, viz, the black part white and the white part black.
 The story as now told by the domestics and adjacent villagers, is that she beat her son William to death because he could not write without making lots, aad a singular part of the tale Is that a short time ago, in altering the shutter, ot the dining room a great rum Der of children's copy books or the time of Queen Elizabeth were discovered iushei between the joists of the floor, some of which answered exactly to the tale as if the child could not write @ single line without making blot.
 Neither the domestics at the Abbey nor the adjacent villagers will hear one word against the narrative. -t Philadelphia Telegraph.

ALiar,s Paradise.

West Virginia is small, sparsely-
settled mountain State, near Penn
sylvania, but it has the biggest syndi-
cate of liars that ever imposed on dis
tant newspapers. Never day passes
that Il sensation of some kind is not
sent out from it. If all the crimes
that are related as happening within
its bounds actually took place, ONT
half of the population would be in
iail, quarter would be officers OF the
law, and the other quarter would be
fugitives from justice. If all the dis
coveries OF mineral wealth are
true, it would be producing moro
gold than Californi,, more sill
yer than Nevada. more coal and iron
than Pennsylvania, more diamonds
than South America, and more build
ing stone than the whole New Eng
land States. If all the bears, PAN
theirs and wildcats and snakes do
business there that are reported, it
would be safer to travel through the
jungles of Africa than through a West
Virginia forest. Ii all the strange
people live there that are said to, the
museums of the world would not wan,
for freaks for the next 100 years.

Is Could behind IT.:

The project OF another transcon-
tinental railway from the Pacific Coast
has taken form in the incorporation in
California OF the San Pedro, Los An
geles and Utah Railway Company.
which proposes the great work OF
constructing q line from the Pacific
Ocean, few miles west OF Los An
geles, eastward to Salt Lake. While
the enterprise is ostensibly that Of a
few prominent citizens Of Los Angeles
there is some reason for the belief that
the Missouri Pacific Company is the
real moving power, as by the con-
struction Of this road and an ar
rangement with the Denver & Rio
Grande it would have practically q
line from st. Louis to the Pacific
Coast. The Missouri Pacific and the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe are
now engaged in sharp com petition
in Kansas, Colorado and Texas, and
it would not be strange if Mr.. Gould
should have determined to carry the
fight into California. Still, the COM
pletion of such an undertaking, if it
has actually been resolved upon, will
require much time, and speculation as
to the result OF the construction Of
still another transcontinental railway
is premature.-lR Railway Age.

NlanuTactories Still Coming.

Some time ago we made note of the
fact that box of the excellent fire
clay, of which large deposits exist
here, had been shipped East to be
tested. A firm at Racine, Wis, made
a thorough test of it, and have noti-
fled the Land Company that the tests
were entirely satisfactory. They said
further, that if the company would
hold out reasonable inducements,
they will establish factoryhere. They
need thirty acres for the plant and
want large body of clay. The com
pany will make them a proposition
which will doubtless be liberal enough
to ensure thei. acceptance. About
500 900 will have to be expended on
the plant before any business can be
done.

ing interested in this place and our
prediction that South Riverside will,
in the near fut re, be recognized as

cific Coast is In fair way to be real

THE SOVEREIGN:
Some Historical Facts About the
English Gold Coinage.


The British sovereign, or pound
sterling, is a legal tender to an unlim-
tied amount, and contains 1l3 grains
of fine gold alloyed with two grains of
copper to every twenty-five grains
fine. Under the Act of 1916, when our
silver standard was abolished, the
gold pound was made to constitute the
sole unit and standard of value OF our
monetary system. Coins OF gold
first came into use in the
reign of Edward Ill, his "no-
ble'' being valued at 6s. Sd,
but gradually increased in value
until It became los. Edward vi re-
placed the former coin by an "angel, J"
which continued till the Common
wealth. The "mark" was "double
angel" valued at 13s. 4d. The name
sovereign was first given to the
"double royal" stamped with the
figure of Henry VII, and was made
current for 2Os.; Henry VIII called it
a "unit" and stamped it with the
Roman numerals Xxx. Charles 1
called it guinea, because the
gold emanated from the Guinea
coast, Guineas we're first coined in
1868; later this coin fuctuated in val
ne from 2Os. to 2ls., until George I
declared it a representative of 2ls.
After this we had a double standard,
until in 1916 the sovereign in its pres
ent form was again made identical
with the pound sterling, and the sill :
yer coins became mere tokens, deriv-
ing their value from the pound, as at
present. The half sovereign was the

.'royal" of Henry VII.-[Longman's

ward and his left foot was drawn into
the cylinder ana literally ground to
pieces. There was nothing left of the
foot and lower half of the leg, below
the knee, and the flesh was torn off
and the bone split to the knee joint.
The unfortunate man was taken to
Genoa, suffering terribly and very
weak from loss of blood. He was
taken TO Rice's Hotel, where Drs.
Young and Williams amputated the
leg above the knee and made him as
comfortable as possible under the cir.
cumstances. Collins is native of
Ireland and about 45 years of age; he
is getting along first rate and will
likely recover.
AT the time of the accident, Collins
had on q pair os heavy shoes, the solcs
being OF the heaviest kind, and the
shoe aud stocking, bone and flesh
were all ground up together, forming

recently from Lake View, Washoe
